Twice named International Wine & Spirit Competition’s Best Argentine Producer, Herve Fabre Montmayou is consistently one of the best wineries Argentina has to offer. The Malbec is sourced from one of the most extreme environments in the world. Its ancient vines are rooted in sandy desert high above the Rio Negro, where temperatures can swing 45 degrees in either direction, not an easy place to grow grapes. But it is those extremes that bring out the best in Malbec, black, opulent fruit yet with aromatic complexity and freshness, this is a big boy that can dance!

A great compliment to red meat, roasted pork, poultry or a nice cheese and meat plate appetizer.
90 Points, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
Xavier Vignon’s brand spanking new CDR 100% is a thing of beauty. It’s already got a blessing from Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate who described this wine as, “Full-bodied, concentrated and supple”. This is a gorgeous and intricate blend that features all of the Southern Rhone appellations. This year, the blend was 40% Grenache, 25% Mourvedre, 15% Syrah, 7% Cinsault, 7% Marselan, 6% Terret Noir. Nobody can do it like the mad scientist, Xavier Vignon.
91 Points, Wine Enthusiast
Always the one with the most personality of the bunch, this is what Wine Enthusiast had to say about the 2021 release: “This extremely ripe and bold style of Pinot Noir will please those seeking such lushness. Dark in the glass, it begins with black cherry, toasty caramel and cola milk shake aromas.” The cool, coastal days and abundance of sunshine lines up perfectly for a wine that has a good natural acidic backbone, with bold fruit-forward flavors. In an easy 2021 vintage, Joe Wagner had a field day with this single-vineyard beauty.
In the 2020 vintage in Gevrey-Chambertin, yields were super low and temperatures were hotter than most Burgundian winemakers are accustomed. Many picked too late when the sugars were high and the fruit really ripe, but that was not the play. Still, Ann remained as cool in those hot temps as she did so many years ago in Napa, concentrating more on acid levels than sugars and picking at just the right time. This wine is absolutely singing – it’s an age-worthy beauty that should be even better in 4-7 years.

“Vignon’s 2019 Chateauneuf du Pape delivers even more than I hoped for based on a previous sample. Hints of garrigue, roses, cherries and raspberries appear on the nose, while the palate is full-bodied, silky and long, with an intense, almost briny finish. The assemblage is 50% Grenache, 10% each Mourvèdre and Syrah, plus smaller proportions of seven other permitted varieties, while the élevage includes foudres, demi-muids, concrete and wooden tanks, plus terracotta amphorae.”

Deep ruby; medium-plus intensity with aromas of black cherry, blackcurrant, bramble a hint of vanilla ( oak) and black pepper.
The wine is dry with low acidity, medium-plus grippy tannins, medium-plus body and high alcohol. The flavour intensity is pronounced with characteristics of black cherry, blackberry, blackcurrant, dried plum, vanilla and bramble. It has a medium finish and smooth silky texture.
The wine is good but not very good. The fruit concentration is high however it lacks any complexity. It lacks balance whilst the tannin and alcohol dominate the low acidity results in an otherwise flat flavour profile.
Acceptable quality for a $15.50 wine but would not buy again.
